I would say that just tagging -STABLE tree as "RELEASE" is a very bad idea, however, it would not be too bad if we take RELENG_6_2 as a codebase and add the following bugfixes: - zonelim fixes (very helpful for heavy loaded systems). - some socket locking fixes (settled for a long time). - driver updates, like RAID driver bugfixes. Therefore, from src/'s view, I think it would not be too bad to make a point release that merges some (well tested) bugfixes in, or at least, provide a patchset as an errata for 6.2-R. > I also think that it would be a bad idea to create *any* new release un= til > after the X.org upgrade has settled down - it has not done that quite y= et > as far as I can tell. I agree. What's more, freezing the ports/ tree often does not sound quite appealing :-) Just my $0.02.
